    I recognize this us probably a joke, but here's a serious response: if mentality or mindset seems totally inappropriate to the reality of the situation, but makes the one possessed by it happier and mentally healthier, as well as more able to adapt to and succeed in that reality, is it really bad or wrong? I wake up ever morning, very often with a headache and frustrated by too many things to do and not enough time to do it. And yet, I am happy I get to experience another day of life in this beautiful world. My life is pretty good, and not all by my own doing. But even if you stripped every comfort and joy out of my life I would still decide to continue living, because it's one more day of being me, of thinking and feeling and experiencing and being. I would still sacrifice my life for certain things, such as to save my friends and family, in the course of revolution, for my faith, or simply to deny someone the chance to control me(I mean if someone tried to kidnap me with a gun to my back I'd just force them to shoot me, I'm not playing their game).
